Romania expelled from the Eurovision Song Contest

(Picture: YouTube)For the first time in the 61 year history of the Eurovision Song Contest, a country has been expelled from the competition.Romania has been thrown out of the competition after its national
broadcaster TVR failed to make payments to the European Broadcasting
Union (the organisers of the Eurovision Song Contest) that date as far
back as 2007.Romania have one of the strongest Eurovision Song Contest records,
having a 100% record for qualifying for the Eurovision final. They were
due to take part in the Second Eurovision Song Contest semi final on
Thursday 12th May. The running order of the show will not be recast following Romania’s elimination.

Ovidiu Anton was due to represent Romania with his pop-rock entry
Moment of Silence. Romania will be silent for a lot longer than a
moment. Ovidiu promoted the song at the London Eurovision Party on Sunday and was expected to reach a strong position in the Eurovision final on May 14th.In a statement released moments ago on the European Broadcasting Union website, it says:

TVR will now no longer be able to participate in the 2016
Eurovision Song Contest and will lose access to other EBU member
services including the Eurovision News and Sports News Exchanges, the
right to broadcast specific sporting events, legal, technical and
research expertise and lobbying services.

Romanian national broadcaster TVR’s debts to the EBU date back to
2007 and with no other Romanian broadcaster a member of the European
Broadcasting Union, it is unlikely that Romania will return to the
Eurovision Song Contest for a number of years.‘This is of course disappointing for the artist chosen to represent
Romania, for our colleagues at TVR who have prepared their participation
so well this year and, not least, for Romanian viewers and the many
Eurovision fans in the country,’ says Jon Ola Sand, Executive Supervisor
of the Eurovision Song Contest on behalf of the EBU.Asked what this means for host broadcaster SVT, Sand replied: ‘As
with all participants, SVT has been preparing for Romania’s act
thoroughly over the past weeks. To take an act out at such late stage is
of course a little disruptive, but it will not negatively affect the
2016 Eurovision Song Contest in any other way.’Romania at the Eurovision Song ContestRomania have twice finished third at the Eurovision Song Contest, in
2005 with Luminita Anghel & Sistem with the song Let Me Try and in
2010 with Paula Selling & Ovi and their entry Playing with Fire.Their 2006 entry Tornero by Mihai became one of the biggest summer
chart and club hits across Europe in 2006. Mihai took part in the
Romanian national final again this year, losing out to Ovidiu.In 2011, Romania was represented by Hotel FM featuring British singer
David Bryan. They campaigned extensively in the United Kingdom but
failed to pick up any points from the UK, finishing 4th in their semi final, but only 17th in the final.

Special relationship? Is Merkel Obama's real ally in Europe?

U.S. President Barack Obama is in Germany on Monday
to meet with Chancellor Angela Merkel and other European leaders but
after pouring praise on the German leader, the country is looking more
like the U.S.'s key ally of the over old partner, the U.K. Obama, who arrived in Hannover on Sunday, has already heaped praise on the German leader, telling German newspaper Bild that
Merkel was "courageous" in her response to Europe's refugee crisis and
he highlighted the importance of the U.S.' relationship with Europe's
largest economy.

U.S. Barack Obama greets German Chancellor
Angela Merkel at the opening evening of the Hannover Messe trade fair on
April 24, 2016 in Hanover, Germany.

"Germany remains one of America's closest and
strongest allies - an indispensable partner not only for our own
security and those of our NATO allies, but also for the security, the
prosperity and the dignity of people across the whole world," he told Bild in an interview published on Saturday. "With Chancellor Merkel, Germany
has raised the stakes and plays an even bigger role on the international
stage," he said, with her work to tackle terrorism, reaching a nuclear
deal with Iran and On Sunday, Obama attended the
Hannover Messe trade show, which showcases industrial technology. This
year's partner country is the U.S., with over 250 U.S. companies
participating in the show. Obama is the first sitting U.S. president to
visit the event. Obama's trip to Germany has not
gone without a hitch so far, with thousands of protesters gathering in
Hannover on Saturday to protest a planned but unpopular free trade
agreement between the U.S. and EU, known as the Transatlantic Trade and
Investment Partnership (TTIP). Critics of TTIP fear it threaten public
services, the environment and consumers. Despite concerns over the
secretive nature of trade talks, both Obama and Merkel said on Sunday
that they hoped to have an agreement over the trade deal by the end of
the year. On Monday afternoon, Obama is
expected to meet with Merkel, French President Francois Hollande,
Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and U.K. Prime Minister David
Cameron. They are expectred to discuss security and humanitarian
concerns over Libya and fragile Syrian peace talks. Obama's trip to Germany comes after a brief stay in London last week
during which he made a call for the U.K. to remain within the European
Union (EU) ahead of a referendum on the subject on June 23. His
comments during the visit made for uncomfortable listening at times with
Obama saying that if the U.K. left, it should not expect any preferential treatment from its long-term ally. Follow CNBC International on Twitter and Facebook.
